Here is the current tank, put together November! Complete with colorful fake plants and silly little signs for my amusement. The roaches love to hide in the vines, while the millies roam everywhere.
i’ve met a lot of people during my time online and many of us have grown apart but i still think of them frequently and wonder what they’re up to and hope they’re no longer facing the same demons they once did

Take off heat. Set a strainer over a glass or metal bowl, and strain apples. Let sit for 10 or so minutes. Optionally, press down to get the maximum amount of liquid from mixture. Add another cup of water to dilute the cordial, then serve!

How come there’s never enough space in hot topic? Why do I always have to shimmy between a rack of band merch and anime shirts just to get to the back? I’ve never been in a hot topic without having to engage in combat with a tattoo-sleeved 20 yr old just to get past the rhine-stoned backpacks. Is the merchandise just so emo that they can’t contain it all?
